In this paper, we explore the idea of designing nonanthropomorphic, multi-fingered robotic hands for tasks that replicate the motion of the human hand. Taking as input data rigid-body trajectories for the five fingertips, we develop a method to perform dimensional synthesis for a kinematic chain with a tree structure, with three common joints and five branches. We state the forward kinematics e...

Anthropomorphic grippers for robots are similar to human hand and they can have two, three, four or more fingers, with two or three phalanxes. Anthropomorphic grippers for robots compared to other mechanical grippers have more advantages like: a higher degree of dexterity, a larger area of utility (more types of objects can be grasped) and a micro-movement of the grasped objects can be performe...

A novel metamorphic anthropomorphic hand is for the first time introduced in this paper. This robotic hand has a reconfigurable palm that generates changeable topology and augments dexterity and versatility of the hand. Structure design of the robotic hand is presented and based on mechanism decomposition kinematics of the metamorphic anthropomorphic hand is characterized with closed-form solut...

Is it possible to think about God without anthropomorphizing him? The fact that has both anthropomorphic and non-anthropomorphic characteristics adds theological confusion. Individual variances in God's views might be a reflection of how individuals understand portrayals. Intellectuals have argued for ages theistic conceptions are excessively anthropomorphic, perplexing, complex. paper focused ...

The present study aimed to satisfy a twofold purpose: On the one hand, it sought to verify the postulation that agent-based instruction could offer a compromise approach to teaching L2 idioms where form and meaning would be equally emphasized during instruction. Given that anthropomorphism has not been much under scrutiny, this research, on the other hand, sought to ascertain whether learning a...

This paper presents results from an HRI study that involved participants interacting with robots of different appearances. The particular focus of this paper is how anthropomorphic attributions impacted the proxemic expectations of the robots’ behaviour as well as the postexperimental evaluations of the robot. The results suggest that a higher degree of anthropomorphic attribution is linked to ...
